All Hallows Eve

We had a fun and festive Halloween and found lots of opportunities to dress up in our cozy costumes.

We paraded with the neighborhood and had a party at the park down the road.

Our friends had an adult only Halloween party and we had a great night out playing games and eating good food.

 

 

We went to our favorite pumpkin patch out by Ben's work. It was wet and muddy from the storm but the girls still liked climbing all over the pumpkins and filling and emptying their wagons. It ended with Ben carrying both crying girls out like sacks of flour under his arms through the mud. Ugh. Reality with toddlers.

We went to the ward party and the girls loved the carnival games. Especially "donut on a string" and trunk or treating. They have eaten their weight in junk food the last few days and have loved it ... 

Time to get back to normal.

Both little ladies got a case of the croup which has been rough. Evie got through it with little problem but we had some insane nights with Rosie up several times an hour barking like a baby seal and bawling and burning up. No fun at all. Luckily we got her on a steroid and after that it was fairly short lived and we are on the mend.

We were sad to miss the toddler party my moms group was having and attending story time on Halloween dressed in our costumes. Too sick and cranky to go. But we did make it out to trick or treat at Ben's work in the afternoon. The girls loved collecting candy and saying "trick or treat!".

Halloween nightt we had our fabulous friends the Gerbers over and carved pumpkins, ate pizza, and went trick or treating. We got all the kids to bed and watched Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm absolutely sick with all the candy I've been eating --which is exactly how I want to feel the day after Halloween. :) Fabulous holiday.
